Running the Road to Recovery - 7

Running the Road to Recovery is about coming back from an illness. In June, 2012 I was in training for a 4-mile race, and was able to run 3-4 miles at a decent (OK, mediocre) rate of speed. A kidney infection that triggered a secondary infection to my knees derailed my training. But only temporarily.

This week I really surprised myself. I not only got the distance up to 3 miles, but also manged to improve the pace quite a bit. My immediate goal is to add an additional quarter mile onto the daily run, so I'd be running a little over 5K. A minor feat for most, but a major milestone for me!

Now it's time to start looking for some races to enter...
